There is NO evidence of any Trump Russia collusion but there IS evidence of collusion and corruption about uranium deal. LET THE WITNESS SPEAK!
Our Trump hating friends insist that Trump is "Putin's Puppet." When asked to provide any example of where Trump has done anything to benefit Russia they change the subject. I wonder if they care about a case where there was a massive benefit to Russia?
Millions in payoffs including huge speaking fees for Bill Clinton, donations to the Clinton Foundation as well as bribes and kickbacks. All part of a Russian scheme to control uranium that was enabled by the Obama Administration with Hillary Clinton playing a key role. Former Federal Prosecutor Andrew McCarthy reviews the case in detail.
There was even a conviction, through a very generous plea deal, that was quietly hushed up by the very same prosecutor hired by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller to investigate Trump. Andrew Weisman, a bulldog of a prosecutor known for his aggressive prosecutions of high profile cases came off like a chihuahua in this case.
And Special Prosecutor Mueller has his fingerprints on this Russian scandal too. Why did the FBI put a gag order on the one witness who brought this information to light and prevent him from informing Congress and the public?
Looking into the matter Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has demanded the FBI lift the gag order and allow the witness to speak. Why not if there is nothing to hide? But we are dealing with the deep state here and corruption at this level involving so many current and former officials will be a hard nut to crack. Isn't it time we had a special prosecutor to investigate the Special Prosecutor, the Clintons and Obama?

Democrats in Virginia Cut Black Man's Photo from Campaign Material for Political Reasons
But we're not supposed to call DEMS racist?
Can you imagine the hoo ha that would take place if a photo of a black GOP candidate were cut from party campaign literature weeks before an election for political reasons? You know the story line by now, charges of racism, marches, protests, NFL players, you name it. The usual racebaiting song and dance.
But when Dems do it, hardly a peep. Take the example in Virginia where Justin Fairfax, Dem candidate for Lt. Governor in a close election had his name and photo removed from party literature distributed in the state.
Naturally, black Democrats are upset. But they're used to it by now. Dems use them as a doormat time and time again. When will they learn?

Samantha Power, Obama UN Ambassador Claims Someone Used Her Name to Spy on American Citizens
If true it's a staggering lapse in intelligence safeguards and worthy of a Special Prosecutor. Same if she's lying!
Can you imagine the media reaction if someone in the Trump Administration did something very suspicious and claimed that it was done by someone else using their name? You would have to be very careful standing in front of a microphone as the stampede of Democrats demanding a Special Prosecutor would put you at risk.
But apparently when an Obama Administration official is asked why she unmasked a record number of Americans in highly sensitive intelligence matters and then claimed it was by someone using her name there is hardly a peep in the media.
Here's the story. You decide whether it merits an investigation. If not, I assume you're fine with Trump Administration officials spying on Americans!

College Students Reflexive Dismissal of Trump Tax Plan But Approve When Told Same Plan is by Bernie Sanders
Just shows you how well programmed these robots are and how they have no principles AT ALL!
Campus Reform went out and interviewed students at George Washington University in Washington, DC regarding Trump's tax reform proposal. One might expect students there to be better informed on public policy but sadly no. When asked if they supported Trump's tax plan they responded with the same pre-programmed responses Democrats have used to brainwash the ignorant for years. Nonsense like "tax cuts for the rich," blah, blah, blah.
But when the interviewer told the students specifics of Trump's plan that these policy changes were proposed by left wing nut Bernie Sanders the students all had favorable reactions. Watch....
Maybe Trump should just change his name to Bernie Sanders and he'd be re-elected by acclamation!

To Dems Nothing is Sacred Anymore. Not the Flag, Not the Anthem, Not the Death of a Fallen Soldier. It's ALL POLITICS to Them!
Listen to General Kelly, who lost his son in war, describe the process of calling families of the fallen and his disgust at what the left tried to turn it into!
GEN KELLY: Well, let me tell you what I told him. Let me tell you what my best friend, Joe Dunford, told me -- because he was my casualty officer. He said, Kel, he was doing exactly what he wanted to do when he was killed. He knew what he was getting into by joining that 1 percent. He knew what the possibilities were because we're at war. And when he died, in the four cases we're talking about, Niger, and my son's case in Afghanistan -- when he died, he was surrounded by the best men on this Earth: his friends.
That's what the President tried to say to four families the other day. I was stunned when I came to work yesterday morning, and broken-hearted at what I saw a member of Congress doing. A member of Congress who listened in on a phone call from the President of the United States to a young wife, and in his way tried to express that opinion -- that he's a brave man, a fallen hero, he knew what he was getting himself into because he enlisted. There's no reason to enlist; he enlisted. And he was where he wanted to be, exactly where he wanted to be, with exactly the people he wanted to be with when his life was taken.
That was the message. That was the message that was transmitted.
It stuns me that a member of Congress would have listened in on that conversation. Absolutely stuns me. And I thought at least that was sacred. You know, when I was a kid growing up, a lot of things were sacred in our country. Women were sacred, looked upon with great honor. That's obviously not the case anymore as we see from recent cases. Life -- the dignity of life -- is sacred. That's gone. Religion, that seems to be gone as well.
Gold Star families, I think that left in the convention over the summer. But I just thought -- the selfless devotion that brings a man or woman to die on the battlefield, I just thought that that might be sacred.
And when I listened to this woman and what she was saying, and what she was doing on TV, the only thing I could do to collect my thoughts was to go and walk among the finest men and women on this Earth. And you can always find them because they're in Arlington National Cemetery. I went over there for an hour-and-a-half, walked among the stones, some of whom I put there because they were doing what I told them to do when they were killed.
I'll end with this: In October -- April, rather, of 2015, I was still on active duty, and I went to the dedication of the new FBI field office in Miami. And it was dedicated to two men who were killed in a firefight in Miami against drug traffickers in 1986 -- a guy by the name of Grogan and Duke. Grogan almost retired, 53 years old; Duke, I think less than a year on the job. Anyways, they got in a gunfight and they were killed. Three other FBI agents were there, were wounded, and now retired. So we go down -- Jim Comey gave an absolutely brilliant memorial speech to those fallen men and to all of the men and women of the FBI who serve our country so well, and law enforcement so well.
There were family members there. Some of the children that were there were three or four years old when their dads were killed on that street in Miami-Dade. Three of the men that survived the fight were there, and gave a rendition of how brave those men were and how they gave their lives.
And a congresswoman stood up, and in the long tradition of empty barrels making the most noise, stood up there and all of that and talked about how she was instrumental in getting the funding for that building, and how she took care of her constituents because she got the money, and she just called up President Obama, and on that phone call he gave the money -- the $20 million -- to build the building. And she sat down, and we were stunned. Stunned that she had done it. Even for someone that is that empty a barrel, we were stunned.
But, you know, none of us went to the press and criticized. None of us stood up and were appalled. We just said, okay, fine.
So I still hope, as you write your stories, and I appeal to America, that let's not let this maybe last thing that's held sacred in our society -- a young man, young woman going out and giving his or her life for our country -- let's try to somehow keep that sacred. But it eroded a great deal yesterday by the selfish behavior of a member of Congress.
Nothing is sacred to Democrats except power. So corrupt! How long before the Trump hating Congresswoman who LIED about this issue uses it to raise money?
UPDATE: Dem Congresswoman Voted AGAINST Vets and Families!
It's almost too horrible to comment on. The politicization of the death of a soldier. But the left goes there without shame. On Thursday, White House Chief of Staff General John Kelly describes the process of honoring fallen soldiers and the President's role especially in the case of La David Johnson, whose death has been used shamelessly by some of the same people who spit on the flag and our country. I excerpted the video to the relevant point but feel free to watch the whole thing:

UPDATE: Dem Congresswoman Voted AGAINST Vets and Families!
The Florida Democrat who criticized President Donald Trump this week for being "insensitive" toward the widow of a U.S. soldier slain in Africa might be facing similar criticism herself.Another vile, racist, left wing ranter. Aren't we over quota for those haters?
It turns out that U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson has frequently voted against measures intended to help veterans and their families, according to VoteSmart.org, a vote-tracking site whose founding board members included former presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford.
The measures that Wilson opposed included a bill that could have ensured that families of four soldiers slain in Afghanistan in 2013 received death and burial benefits.
In fact, Wilson’s voting record on veterans issues may call into question the sincerity of her recent defense of U.S. service members and their families.
Despite Wilson's claim to be “committed to honoring our service members, not only with words but with deeds,” she has voted against most bills ensuring continued funding for veteran benefits, including payments to widows of fallen soldiers, the vote-tracking site shows.
She has also opposed measures designed to improve the Department of Veterans Affairs.

So, NFL Players Can Protest National Anthem But @Delta Passengers Can't Sing to Honor Fallen Soldier. And Flight Attendant LIED About Policy
What about the free speech rights of REAL Americans?
We're told that NFL players have the right to protest the National Anthem, even though they are at work. But why don't those of us who love this country have the right to sing the Anthem? Especially to honor a fallen soldier....
Dr. Gaudry has the full video on her Facebook page. Here's a shorter version:
We're told that NFL players have the right to protest the National Anthem, even though they are at work. But why don't those of us who love this country have the right to sing the Anthem? Especially to honor a fallen soldier....
Dr. Gaudry has the full video on her Facebook page. Here's a shorter version:
SAVANNAH, Ga. — A Georgia physician said her plan to honor a fallen soldier by singing the U.S. national anthem aboard a Delta Air Lines plane carrying the soldier’s casket was stopped by a flight attendant who told her it would violate company policy.On Twitter, Dr. Gaudry is being attacked by the same people who think the NFL players protest is just peachy. I bet if NFL players wanted to protest onboard a Delta flight the attendant who refused to allow Dr. Gaudry to sing would have cheered them on. It's time to stand up for America and stop letting these politically correct bullies from depriving us of OUR rights!
Dr. Pamela Gaudry of Savannah said she and fellow passengers were told “to stay quietly in our seats” as an honor guard escorted the casket from the plane Saturday at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. A flight attendant told her that singing “The Star Spangled Banner” would make passengers from other countries uncomfortable, she said.
...
Gaudry said she was flying Saturday from Philadelphia to Atlanta when the pilot told passengers the plane was carrying the remains of a fallen American soldier. She said she began asking other passengers if they would join her in singing the anthem as the casket was taken off the plane. Many agreed enthusiastically, she said.
“The chief flight attendant came back to my seat and she kneeled down and she said, ‘It is against company policy to do what you’re doing,'” Gaudry said in the video. “And I said, ‘The national anthem? And there’s a soldier onboard?’ And she said, ‘Yes, you cannot sing the national anthem. It is against company policy.'”
Gaudry said she stayed in her seat with her head down — a decision she soon regretted. In her video, she reserved the harshest criticism for herself: “I just did the most uncourageous thing in my life today.”
Anthony Black, a spokesman for Atlanta-based Delta, declined to comment Monday on the specifics on Gaudry’s account.
“There is not a policy about singing the national anthem, period,” Black said.
The body of Army Staff Sgt. Dustin Wright, a special forces soldier who was among four U.S. troops killed in an ambush attack Oct. 4 in Niger, was returned Saturday to Wright’s family in rural southeast Georgia.

Another Sex Hypocrite: Trump Critic @JimmyKimmelLive Asks Woman to Guess What's In His Pants. "Put Your Mouth on It"
Trump is starting to look like a Boy Scout compared to these leches!
Night after night Jimmy Kimmel blasts Trump on just about everything. Who knew that a comedian could be such an expert. But while lambasting Trump, Kimmel has his own skeletons rattling around.
More dirt and sleaze from another sanctimonious Hollywood liberal who relishes lecturing the rest of us while doing whatever he pleases. SICK!

Media Collusion: Denouncing Pence for "Stunt" While Praising NFL Players Who Kneel During Anthem
Once again, free speech rights are the exclusive purview of the left. Anyone else exercising theirs will be denounced!
Vice President Mike Pence, shown above in his home state of Indiana at an NFL game between the Indianopolis Colts and San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Pence, along with his wife in a Colts Jersey stand at attention during the playing of the National Anthem while on the field several players from the 49ers showed disrespect for the flag. Shortly after Pence and his wife walked out.
In a series of tweets Pence explains:
And apparently, the feeling that Pence doesn't have the same right to express his views as an overpaid NFL player was widely shared by the left wing sports press and other players who have such praise for the players engaging in this behavior while denouncing anyone who dares to express their views and criticize:
At this rate, the further politicizing of NFL games by activist players who disrepect our flag and anthem will drive the NFL viewership and ticket sales even further into the ground. No doubt when this starts hitting players in the wallet they will be first in line to demand some sort of government handout. I have an idea. Let's buy the protesting players a one way ticket to a country where they won't feel so oppressed. I hear North Korea is nice this time of year!

The vice president later came under fire from 49ers safety Eric Reid, who called the early exit a “PR stunt” and example of “systemic oppression.” “He knew our team has had the most players protest,” Mr. Reid told reporters. “He knew we were probably going to do it again. And so this is what systemic oppression looks like—a man with power comes to the game, tweets a couple things out and leaves the game with an attempt to thwart our efforts.”So now these fabulously rich NFL players are "oppressed?" Unbelievable considering that no one "thwarted" their effort to disrespect the flag.
And apparently, the feeling that Pence doesn't have the same right to express his views as an overpaid NFL player was widely shared by the left wing sports press and other players who have such praise for the players engaging in this behavior while denouncing anyone who dares to express their views and criticize:
DAVID MUIR: (music) Vice President Pence sparking a firestorm. Was it a political stunt?I don't suppose it ever occurred to any of these overpaid whiners that the "STUNT" is what the players are doing?
RON CLAIBORNE: (outdoor noise) How much in taxpayer money was wasted on this stunt?
BILL WEIR: …an expensive political stunt.
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: This political stunt…
PETER ALEXANDER: …a political stunt…
ANA CABRERA: Was this all just a political stunt?
JENNIFER RUBIN: Of course it was a political stunt.
VAN JONES: You’ve got now the president, the vice president pulling off a stunt to oppose a stunt protesting a protest.
ALISYN CAMEROTA: This was a quarter million dollar publicity stunt?
RYAN NOBLES: …just a big publicity stunt.
JAMES ROSEN: …a preplanned publicity stunt…
RICHARD LUI: What the vice president did here, was this a stunt?
TYLER TYNES: This seems like a PR stunt.
DONTE STALLWORTH: …this whole staged publicity stunt…
JOE WATKINS: …sending the vice president to the game was a preplanned stunt.
At this rate, the further politicizing of NFL games by activist players who disrepect our flag and anthem will drive the NFL viewership and ticket sales even further into the ground. No doubt when this starts hitting players in the wallet they will be first in line to demand some sort of government handout. I have an idea.

Hollywood Hypocrites Denounced Trump for What he SAID but Looked Other Way for YEARS w/ Weinstein Serial Sex Predation
Democrats KNEW about Weinstein but embraced him anyway!
Harvey Weinstein finally got caught for being a serial sexual predator after being exposed by the New York Times. The curious question is why the same New York Times covered up the story for thirteen years?
Many of the same people who dumped all over Donald Trump accusing him of being the worst sort of misogynist for a wildly inappropriate REMARK, knew about Weinstein yet stayed silent for years.
Even after the news came out Saturday Night Live, who dumps all over Trump at every opportunity, gave the Weinstein scandal a pass with Producer Lorne Michaels because Weinstein is from New York. That never stops them from going after Trump.
And all the big Democrats lined up for YEARS to be seen with Weinstein who was very generous with his donations to the party.
Some Democrats have given the money they received to charity. But many have not including Obama and Hillary.
Actress Meryl Streep who trembles with faux outrage when speaking about Trump's choice of words once called Weinstein "A god!"
UPDATE: Liberals start asking why Obama and Hillary remain silent?

UPDATE: Liberals start asking why Obama and Hillary remain silent?
Comedian and liberal activist Lizz Winstead joined MSNBC’s Katy Tur on Monday to discuss the fallout from last week’s New York Times exposé on decades of harassment claims against a Hollywood titan. The conversation soon shifted to Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton’s muted responses.
“President Obama, Hillary Clinton, silent so far,” Ms. Tur said. “How do you feel about the selective outrage? ‘I can be outraged about Donald Trump last year, but not outraged about this.’”
“I feel it happens a lot with women’s issues and I feel really disappointed in both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton,” said Ms. Winstead, the chief creative officer at Lady Parts Justice. “If you took money from this person, because this person had really good progressive goals that were in line with the politics, great. When you find out that this person is a monster, especially a monster towards women, why wouldn’t you denounce it?”

Hard to find Video. Wonder Why? Puerto Rico Congresswoman Praises Trump and Federal Response to Hurricane Disaster.
With all the Democrats criticizing Trump in unison talking points it's refreshing to hear what some of the folks in Puerto Rico actually think about Trump's response to the disaster!
Rep. Jennifer Gonzalez-Colon is the non-voting Congressional Representative for Puerto Rico in the U.S. House. At a meeting Tuesday she described the Federal government's response to the disaster in the island territory:
Loud cheers for Trump at another event handing out supplies:
Death toll from Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico has risen to 34. It's a miracle it wasn't higher but pre-storm preparation by the Trump Administration also played a role!
Rep. Jennifer Gonzalez-Colon is the non-voting Congressional Representative for Puerto Rico in the U.S. House. At a meeting Tuesday she described the Federal government's response to the disaster in the island territory:
What a shame that Democrats continue to use political talking points when what is needed is help to restore Puerto Rico. Trump is getting the job done!
REPRESENTATIVE GONZÁLEZ-COLÓN: Thank you, Mr. President. The first thing is that, before we were hit by Maria, we were hit by Hurricane Irma. And during that time, before the hurricane, here was FEMA acting together with a lot of employees. More than 4,000 people were here in the island from the different branches of the military -- HHS, Navy, Army, FEMA -- and all the staff working together before the hurricane hit. They were here before, during, after the first hurricane, and they continued to stay on the island, boots on the ground. During Maria -- same thing.
I think we never got the level of communication between the federal government and the government like never before. And we are in the path of the hurricane, so we are used to receiving hurricanes, but never before a Category 5. The amount of devastation is unheard of. But during all this time, we got the federal government by our side, doing the job of the people here, like you in the military, doing all that has been asked. All the questions and requests that the governor did, the President and his Cabinet accomplished it and send more people, and has continued to send in more people -- trucks, drivers, and resources.
Thank you, Mr. President, for all you've been doing for the island.
Loud cheers for Trump at another event handing out supplies:
Death toll from Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico has risen to 34. It's a miracle it wasn't higher but pre-storm preparation by the Trump Administration also played a role!
Liberal Statistician: "I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise."
But it doesn't matter. Keeping law abiding Americans from owning guns is the only and reflexive solution Dems have. They often forgive criminals who USE guns!
We must have gun control! That's all we hear every time there is a mass shooting. But we already have gun laws and in many cases, it doesn't seem to make the slightest difference.
If guns were the problem, why did Obama forgive so many criminals who used guns or violated gun laws? If more gun laws are what's needed, why did prosecutions of criminals under existing gun laws drop dramatically under Obama?
Cities like Chicago have the strictest gun control laws in the country yet there are killings every week.
Liberals clamoring for more gun control should be forced to answer these questions before they further limit the Constitutional rights of law abiding Americans.
Consider this:
Trump is the only President to take on gang violence directly with an effective program.
And what good are more gun laws if the next Democrat president is so desperate for votes that he or she will continue to pardon gun offenders?

Consider this:
If Democrats who constantly preach about gun control spent even a fraction of their time promoting mental health or combating gang violence we might make some progress. But when was the last time you heard Obama or Hillary talk about the scourge of gang violence that has unleashed a genocide against black people in our inner cities?I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise.

Leah Libresco is a statistician and former newswriter at FiveThirtyEight, a data journalism site. She is the author of “Arriving at Amen.”
Before I started researching gun deaths, gun-control policy used to frustrate me. I wished the National Rifle Association would stop blocking common-sense gun-control reforms such as banning assault weapons, restricting silencers, shrinking magazine sizes and all the other measures that could make guns less deadly.
Then, my colleagues and I at FiveThirtyEight spent three months analyzing all 33,000 lives ended by guns each year in the United States, and I wound up frustrated in a whole new way. We looked at what interventions might have saved those people, and the case for the policies I’d lobbied for crumbled when I examined the evidence. The best ideas left standing were narrowly tailored interventions to protect subtypes of potential victims, not broad attempts to limit the lethality of guns.
I researched the strictly tightened gun laws in Britain and Australia and concluded that they didn’t prove much about what America’s policy should be. Neither nation experienced drops in mass shootings or other gun related-crime that could be attributed to their buybacks and bans. Mass shootings were too rare in Australia for their absence after the buyback program to be clear evidence of progress. And in both Australia and Britain, the gun restrictions had an ambiguous effect on other gun-related crimes or deaths.
As my co-workers and I kept looking at the data, it seemed less and less clear that one broad gun-control restriction could make a big difference. Two-thirds of gun deaths in the United States every year are suicides. Almost no proposed restriction would make it meaningfully harder for people with guns on hand to use them. I couldn't even answer my most desperate question: If I had a friend who had guns in his home and a history of suicide attempts, was there anything I could do that would help?
However, the next-largest set of gun deaths — 1 in 5 — were young men aged 15 to 34, killed in homicides. These men were most likely to die at the hands of other young men, often related to gang loyalties or other street violence. And the last notable group of similar deaths was the 1,700 women murdered per year, usually as the result of domestic violence. Far more people were killed in these ways than in mass-shooting incidents, but few of the popularly floated policies were tailored to serve them.
By the time we published our project, I didn’t believe in many of the interventions I’d heard politicians tout. I was still anti-gun, at least from the point of view of most gun owners, and I don’t want a gun in my home, as I think the risk outweighs the benefits. But I can’t endorse policies whose only selling point is that gun owners hate them. Policies that often seem as if they were drafted by people who have encountered guns only as a figure in a briefing book or an image on the news.
Instead, I found the most hope in more narrowly tailored interventions. Potential suicide victims, women menaced by their abusive partners and kids swept up in street vendettas are all in danger from guns, but they each require different protections.
Trump is the only President to take on gang violence directly with an effective program.
And what good are more gun laws if the next Democrat president is so desperate for votes that he or she will continue to pardon gun offenders?
